The roads may be full of cracks, the police stations close for lack of staff, children are held in breach of their human rights in detention, and, in the event of an emergency, the Emergency Services Minister will bunk off on hols and the Chief Minister will go for coffee.

But never mind that bollocks. Our Brave Leader has broken with recent tradition and put a media release online.

The ACT Government will consider supporting a Dili domestic violence service

And what about the Land Rights For Gay Whales I ask you?

Don’t blame me, I can’t remember who I voted for… I may have drawn a lewd picture on my ballot form.

In any case, people who voted for the tool should be allowed to whinge; I’m sure they didn’t vote for this particular brain fart. That being said they are not allopwed to bitch about the following;

1) Anything else.

Yes, it’s a short list, but I’m so sure I’m correct.

I’m glad I didn’t vote Labor and convinced those around me of the same thing.

A politician serves his own career to the exclusion of his mandate and even his own party. *yawn*

You bastards voted for him. Thank God I live in Queanbeyan.

Do they have nice beaches in Timor? Maybe the Comrade is planning another O/S trip at our expense?

Whatever his motivation (which is highly questionable), wheh were the good folks of the ACT consulted as to how he is spending our money? As Thumper points out; I don’t have any ill feeling towards the East Timorese; but surely we have our own Domestic Violence problems in the ACT? Not to mention the shortage of Public Housing, lack of Police etc etc ad nauseum.

Charity starts in the home; we should clean up our own backyard before taking on the whole street (and suburb).

big fish small pond.

big confused fish with delusions of relevance.

Unfortunately for our esteemed Leader, I suspect that Labor Federal politicians will not be impressed by his attempts at being internationally engaged.

The Dear Leader is obviously priming himself for a career on the Hill – Shadow Foreign Affairs mayhap ? After all, he’s given an Embassy to Afghanistan, signed MOUs with various others, what else is left – ah, yes, showing compassion in Dili…would be interesting to know how many people overseas are aware Canberra, not Sydney, is the nation’s capital….
